Kristen Rosen Gonzalez, a Miami Beach commissioner with extensive experience, has announced her candidacy for mayor in the upcoming November election. Aiming to unseat current Mayor Steven Meiner, she emphasizes her commitment to community issues and her track record of activism over her eight years in office. In addition to Rosen Gonzalez, political newcomer Victor J. Rosario has also entered the race. Among other developments, candidates are vying for Rosen Gonzalez's commission seat, while incumbent Commissioner Laura Dominguez will seek reelection without any current opponents.
"I've always been the people's commissioner, and now it's time for me to be the people's mayor," Rosen Gonzalez told the Miami Herald in an interview Wednesday morning.
"I've been standing up for the community forever," Rosen Gonzalez said, pointing to battles she has waged over the future of Allison Park, plans to lease city-owned parking lots near Lincoln Road and an effort to preserve the South Shore Community Center.
